36 dh_installinfo already required that info files had a INFO-DIR-SECTION,
37 the new system also requires they have START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY and

251 * If any third-party debhelper commands use any of the above options,
252 they will be broken, and need to be changed to pass options to init().
253 * To avoid breaking rules files that pass options to commands that do not
254 use them, debhelper will now only warn if it encounters an unknown
255 option. This will be converted back to an error later.

940 instead of "all" when the package doesn't depend on a
941 specific python version. Closes: #373853
942 - always generate ${python:Provides} and leave the responsibility to the
943 maintainer to not use ${python:Provides} if he doesn't want the
945 - uses debian/pycompat or DH_PYCOMPAT as reference field to run in new
946 policy mode. The presence of XS-Python-Version will also trigger the
947 new policy mode (this is for short-term compatibility, it may be removed in

2649 * dh_movefiles has long been a sore point in debhelper. Inherited
2650 from debstd, its interface and implementation suck, and I have maintained
2651 it while never really deigning to use it. Now there is a remplacment:
2652 dh_install, which ...
2653 - copies files, doesn't move them. Closes: #75360, #82649
2654 - doesn't have that whole annoying debian/package.files vs. debian/files
2655 mess, as it uses debian/install.
2656 - supports copying empty subdirs. Closes: #133037
2657 - doesn't use tar, thus no error reproting problems. Closes: #112538
2658 - files are listed relative to the pwd, debian/tmp need not be used at
2659 all, so no globbing issues. Closes: #100404
2660 - supports -X. Closes: #116902
2661 - the whole concept of moving files out of a directory is gone, so this
2662 bug doesn't really apply. Closes: #120026
2663 - This is exactly what Bill Allombert asked for in #117383, even though I
2664 designed it seemingly independantly. Thank you Bill! Closes: #117383
2665 * Made debhelper's debian/rules a lot simpler by means of the above.
2666 * Updated example rules file to use dh_install. Also some reordering and
2667 other minor changes.
2668 * dh_movefiles is lightly deprecated, and when you run into its bugs and
2669 bad design, you are incouraged to just use dh_install instead.
2670 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in bin/ dirs +x. Closes: #119039
2671 * dh_fixperms: in v4 only, make all files in etc/init.d executable (of
2672 course there's -X ..)
2673 * dh_link: in v4 only, finds existing, non-policy-conformant symlinks
2674 and corrects them. This has the side effect of making dh_link idempotent.
2675 * Added a -h/--help option. This seems very obvious, but it never occured to
2677 * use v4 for building debhelper itself
2678 * v4 mode is done, you may now use it without fear of it changing.
2679 (This idea of this upload is to get v4 into woody so people won't run into
2680 many issues backporting from sarge to woody later on. Packages targeted
2681 for woody should continue to use whatever compatability level they are

2726 I had to modify his patch to use cp --parents, since -P spews warnings

2728 which is both faster, and means this patch is less likely to break
2729 anything if it turns out to be buggy. Also, stylistic changes.

2756 debhelper (3.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
2758 * Introduced the debian/compat file. This is the new, preferred way to say
2759 what debhelper compatability level your package uses. It has the big
2760 advantage of being available to debhelper when you run it at the command
2761 line, as well as in debian/rules.
2762 * A new v4 feature: dh_installinit, in v4 mode, will use invoke-rc.d.
2763 This is in v4 for testing, but I may well roll it back into v3 (and
2764 earlier) once woody is released and I don't have to worry about breaking
2765 things (and, presumably, once invoke-rc.d enters policy).
2766 * Some debhelper commands will now build up a new substvars variable,
2767 ${misc:Depends}, based on things they know your package needs to depend
2768 on. For example, dh_installinit in v4 mode adds sysvinit (>= 2.80-1) to
2769 that dep list, and dh_installxfonts adds a dep on xutils. This variable
2770 should make it easier to keep track of what your package needs to depends
2771 on, supplimenting the ${shlibs:Depends} and ${perl:Depends} substvars.
2772 Hmm, this appears to be based loosely on an idea by Masato Taruishi
2773 <taru@debian.org>, filtered through a long period of mulling it over.
2775 * Use the addsubstvar function I wrote for the above in dh_perl too.

2792 - However, if you really want to, you can skip the dep, and the
2793 postinst will avoid running program that arn't available. Closes: #131053
2794 - Use update-fonts-dir instead of handling encodings ourselves. Yay!
2795 - Pass only the last component of the directory name to
2796 update-fonts-*, since that's what they perfer now.

2810 * Began work on v4 support (and thus the large version number jump), and it
2811 is only for the very brave right now since I will unhesitatingly break
2812 compatability in v4 mode as I'm developing it. Currently, updating to v4
2813 mode will only make dh_makeshlibs -V generate shared library deps that
2814 omit the debian part of the version number. The reasoning behind this
2815 change is that the debian revision should not typically break binary
2816 compatability, that existing use of -V is causing too tight versioned
2817 deps, and that if you do need to include the debian revision for some
2818 reason, you can always write it out by hand. Closes: #101497

2998 with any automatically determined substvars data. See bug #98819
2999 * I want to stress that no one should ever rely in internal, undocumented
3000 debhelper workings. Just because debhelper uses a certian name for some
3001 internally used file does not mean that you should feel free to modify
3002 that file to your own ends in a debian package. If you do use it, don't
3003 be at all suprised when it breaks. If you find that debhelper is lacking
3004 a documented interface for something that you need, ask for it!

3026 * Fixed issues with extended parameters to dh_gencontrol including spaces
3027 and quotes. This was some histirical cruft that deals with splitting up
3028 the string specified by -u, and it should not have applied to the set
3029 of options after --. Now that it's fixed, any and all programs that
3030 support a -- and options after it, do not require any special quoting
3031 of the succeeding options. Quote just like you would in whatever
3032 program those options go to. So, for example,
3033 dh_gencontrol -Vblah:Depends='foo, bar (>= 1.2)' will work just as you
3034 would hope. This fix does NOT apply to -u; don't use -u if you must do
3035 something complex. Closes: #89311

3175 * Now depends on debconf-utils for debconf-mergetemplates. Closes: #87321
3176 * Continues to depend on lynx for html changelog conversions. Yes, these
3177 and packages with translated debconf templates are rather rare, but
3178 it makes more sense for debhelper to consistently depend on all utilities
3179 it uses internally rather than force people to keep their dependancies
3180 up to date with debhelper internals. If I decide tomorrow that w3m is
3181 the better program to use to format html changelogs, I can make the
3182 change and packages don't need to update their build dependancies.
3183 Closes: #88464, #77743
3184 * Test for init scripts before running them, since they are conffiles and
3185 the admin may have removed them for some reason, and policy wants

3236 debhelper (3.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
3238 * Added dh_installman, a new program that replaces dh_installmanpages.
3239 It is not DWIM. You tell it what to install and it figures out where
3240 based on .TH section field and filename extention. I reccommend everyone
3241 begin using it, since this is much better then dh_installmanpages's
3242 evilness. I've been meaning to do this for a very long time..
3243 Closes: #38673, #53964, #64297, #16933, #17061, #54059, #54373, #61816
3244 * dh_installmanpages remains in the package for backwards compatability,
3245 but is mildly deprecated.
3246 * dh_testversion is deprecated; use build dependancies instead.
3247 * dh_suidregister: re-enabled. Aj thinks that requiring people to stop
3248 using it is unacceptable. Who am I to disagree with a rc bug report?
3249 Closes: #84910 It is still deprecated, and it will still whine at you
3250 if you use it. I appreciate the job everyone has been doing at
3251 switching to statoverrides..
3252 * Since dh_debstd requires dh_installmanpages (where do you think the
3253 latter's evil interface came from?), I have removed it. It was a nice
3254 thought-toy, but nobody really used it, right?
3255 * Since the from-debstd document walks the maintainer through running
3256 dh_debstd to get a list of debhelper commands, and since that document
3257 has really outlives its usefullness, I removed it too. Use dh-make
3259 * dh_installman installs only into /usr/share/man, not the X11R6
3260 directory. Policy says "files must not be installed into
3261 `/usr/X11R6/bin/', `/usr/X11R6/lib/', or `/usr/X11R6/man/' unless this
3262 is necessary for the package to operate properly", and I really doubt
3263 a man page being in /usr/share/man is going to break many programs.
3264 Closes: #81853 (I hope the bug submitter doesn't care that
3265 dh_installmanpages still puts stuff in the X11R6/man directory.)
3266 * dh_undocumented now the same too now.
3267 * dh_installinit: installs debian/package.default files as /etc/default/
3269 * Updated to current perl coding standards (use strict, lower-case
3270 variable names, pod man pages).
3271 * Since with the fixing of the man page installer issue, my checklist for
3272 debhelper v3 is complete, I pronounce debhelper v3 done! Revved the
3273 version number appropriatly (a large jump; v3 changes less than I had
3274 planned). Note that I have no plans for a v4 at this time. :-)
3275 * Testing: I have used this new version of debhelper to build a large
3276 number of my own packages, and it seems to work. But this release
3277 touches every file in this package, so be careful out there..

3349 to a program that previously used suidmanager, though, you need to
3350 conflict with suidmanager (<< 0.50).
3351 * Made dh_suidmanager check to see if it would have done anything before.
3352 If so, it states that it is obsolete, and refer users to the man

3443 Patch from Masato Taruishi <taru@debian.org> (modified). If you

3445 old rules files have the ordering backwards.
3446 - dh_installdeb now causes all files in /etc to be registered as
3448 - debian/README is now supported: it is treated exactly like
3449 debian/README.Debian. Either file is installed as README.Debian in
3450 non-native packages, and now as just README in native packages.
3452 * This is really only the start of the changes for v3, so use with
3454 * dh_du has finally been removed. It has been deprecated for ages, and
3455 a grep of the archive shows that nothing is using it except biss-awt
3456 and scsh. I filed bugs on both almost exactly a year ago. Those bugs

3498 * dh_makeshlibs: Also scan files named "*.so*", not just "*.so.*",
3499 but only if they are files. This should make it more usable with
3500 rather stupidly broken libraries like db3, which do not encode the
3501 major version in their filenames. However, it cannot guess the major
3502 version of such libraries, so -m must be used.

3514 * dh_movefiles: no longer does the symlink ordering hack, as
3515 this is supported by dpkg itself now. Added a dependancy on
3516 dpkg-dev >= 1.7.0 to make sure this doesn't break anything.
3517 * While I'm updating for dpkg 1.7.0, I removed the -ldirectory hack
3518 from dh_shlibdeps; dpkg-shlibdeps has its own much more brutal hack to
3519 make this work. The switch is ignored now for backwards compatability.

3693 * I started work on debhelper v2 over a year ago, with a long list of
3694 changes I hoped to get in that broke backwards compatability. That
3695 development stalled after only the most important change was made,
3696 although I did get out over 100 releases in the debhelper 2.0.x tree.
3697 In the meantime, lots of packages have switched to using v2, despite my
3698 warnings that doing so leaves packages open to being broken without
3699 notice until v2 is complete.
3700 * Therefore, I am calling v2 complete, as it is. Future non-compatabile
3701 changes will happen in v3, which will be started soon. This means that
3702 by using debhelper v2, one major thing changes: debhelper uses
3703 debian/<package> as the temporary directory for *all* packages;
3704 debian/tmp is no longer used to build binary packages out of. This is
3705 very useful for multi-binary packages, and I reccommend everyone
3707 * Updated example rules files to use v2 by default.
3708 * Updated all documentation to assume that v2 is being used.
3709 * Added a few notes for people still using v1.
3710 * Moved all of the README into debhelper(1).

3834 * dh_installwm now behaves like a proper debhelper command, and reads

3921 link, and then removing its suid bit. This messed up the registration
3922 of the other had links, since their permissions were now changed,
3923 leading to unpredictable results. The fix is to just not remove suid

3934 - This also Closes: #37092 come to think of it.
3935 * dh_shlibdeps, dh_shlibdeps.1:
3936 - Added -X option, which makes it not examine some files. This is
3937 useful in rare cases. Closes: #51100

3942 - dh_installdebfiles is no longer a part of debhelper. This affects

4062 <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
4063 I made some changes, though:
4064 - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
4065 - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
4066 that is a clear violation of policy.
4067 - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
4068 this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
4069 - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
4070 dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
4071 us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
4072 - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
4073 - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brando^Hen's
4074 font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
4075 - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
4077 - s:/usr/lib/X11/:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/:g

4245 http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-ctte-9908/msg00038.html,
4246 to make /usr/doc/<package> a compatability symlink to
4247 /usr/share/doc/<package>. Note that currently if something exists in
4248 /usr/doc/<package> when the postinst is run, it will silently not make
4249 the symlink. I'm considering more intellingent handing of this case.
4250 * Note that if you build a package with this version of debhelper, it will
4251 use /usr/share/man, /usr/share/doc, and /usr/share/info. You may need to

4527 * dh_installinit: applied patch from Yann Dirson <ydirson@multimania.com>
4528 to make it look for init.d scripts matching the --init-script parameter.
4529 This is only useful if, like Yann, you have packages that need to install
4530 more than 1 init script.

4573 * dh_fixperms: Do not use chmod/chown -R at all anymore, instead it uses
4574 the (slower) find then chown method. Necessary because the -R methods will
4575 happyily attempt to chown a dangling symlink, which makes them fail.

4590 This is an experimental change, one problem is if your man page isn't
4591 already gzip-9'd, it will be in violation of policy. (closes: #38673)

4593 x bit was being set!

4637 generated before were wrong simetimes (#37774)
4638 * Started writing a regression test suite for debhelper. Currently covers
4639 only the above bugfix and a few more dh_link tests.
4640 * Tossed Test.pm into the package (for regression tests) until we get perl
4641 5.005 which contains that package. That file is licenced the same as perl.

4745 compress such files caused gzip to fail and the whole command to fail.

4747 range of odd suffixes that gzip refuses to compress, including "_z" and

4960 * dh_fixperms: linux 2.1.x and 2.2.x differ from earlier versions in that
4961 they do not clear the suid bit on a file when the owner of that file

5044 I have looked and it doesn't seem this will actually affect any packages
5045 in debian. This is useful only if you want to use dh_installdocs and not
5046 dh_fixperms, and that's the only time this behavior change will have any
5047 effect, either. (#30118)

5173 circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)

5181 * dh_suidregister: remove suid/sgid bits from all files registered. The
5182 reason is this: if you're using suidmanager, and you want a file that
5183 ships suid to never be suid on your system, shipping it suid in the .deb
5184 will create a window where it is suid before suidmanager fixes it's
5185 permissions. This change should be transparent to users and developers.

5199 * Added support for register-window-manager command which will be in a new
5200 (as yet unreleased) xbase. Now a new dh_installwm program handles
5201 registration of a window manager and the necessary modifications to
5202 postinst and postrm. It's safe to go ahead and start using this for your
5203 window manager packages, just note that it won't do anything until the new
5204 xbase is out, and that due to the design of register-window-manager, if
5205 your wm is installed before a xbase that supports register-window-manager
5206 is installed, the window manager will never be registered. (#20971)

5242 * dh_strip: on Richard Braakman's advice, strip the .comment and .note
5243 sections of shared libraries.
5244 * Added DH_OPTIONS environment variable - anything in it will be treated
5245 as additional command line arguments by all debhelper commands. This in
5246 useful in some situations, for example, if you need to pass -p to all
5247 debhelper commands that will be run. If you use DH_OPTIONS, be sure to
5248 use dh_testversion 1.1.17 - older debhelpers will ignore it and do
5249 things you don't want them to.

5279 unintentional - in fact, the debian/compress example in the man page

5312 to work before the perl conversion, but it was never _documented_, or
5313 intented to work. If you use this in your packages, they are broken and
5314 need fixing (and will refuse to build with current versions of debhelper).

5572 providing me with free internet access on a moment's notice, so I could
5573 get this package to you after hacking on it all over New England for the
5574 past week. Thanks, guys!
5576 * Added dh_debstd, which mimics the functionality of the debstd command.
5577 It's not a complete nor an exact copy, and it's not so much intended to
5578 be used in a debian/rules file, as it is to be run by hand when you are
5579 converting a package from debstd to debhelper. "dh_debstd -v" will
5580 output the sequence of debhelper commands that approximate what debstd
5581 would do in the same situation.
5582 * dh_debstd is completly untested, I don't have the source to any packages
5583 that use debstd available. Once this is tested, I plan to release
5585 * Added a from-debstd document that gives a recipe to convert from debstd
5587 * dh_fixperms: can now use -X to exclude files from having their
5588 permissions changed.
5589 * dh_testroot: test for uid == 0, instead of username == root, becuase
5590 some people enjoy changing root's name.
5591 * dh_installinit: handle debian/init.d as well as debian/init files,
5592 for backwards compatability with debstd. Unlike with debstd, the two
5593 files are treated identically.
5594 * dh_lib, PROGRAMMING: added "warning" function.

5607 exclude, without all the bother of a debian/compress script. You can
5608 use -X multiple times, too.

6006 * dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
6007 #15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
6008 * A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
6009 that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
6010 `&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
6011 * dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
6012 dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().

6031 * dh_installdirs: Do not create usr/doc/$PACKAGE directory. Bug #15498
6032 * README: documented that $PACKAGE can be used in the arguments to some of
6033 the dh_* programs (#15497).
6034 * dh_du.1: no, this is not really the dh_md5sums man page (#15499).

6061 README.Debian is installed with the same name..)

6084 debhelper (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
6086 * examples/*: added source, diff targets that just print an error.
6087 * dh_clean: clean up more files - *.orig, *.rej, *.bak, .*.orig, .*.rej,
6088 .SUMS, TAGS, and empty files.
6089 * dh_lib: doit(): use eval on parameters, instead of directly running
6090 them. This lets me clean up several nasty areas where I had to echo the
6091 commands once, and then run them seperatly.

6143 (Thanks to Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpb4@ukc.ac.uk>) #14048.
6144 * dh_md5sums: can generate conffile md5sums with -x parameter.
6145 * Added a "converting from debstd" section to the README.
6146 * Added dh_du, generates a DEBIAN/du file with disk usage stats (#14048).

6150 debhelper (0.10) unstable; urgency=medium
6152 * dh_installdebfiles: fixed *bad* bug that messed up the names of all
6153 files installed into DEBIAN/ for multiple binary packages.
6154 * dh_md5sums: fixed another serious bug if dh_md5sums was used for
6155 multiple binary packages.
6156 * If you have made any multiple binary packages using debhelper, you
6157 should rebuild them with this version.
6158 * dh_md5sums: show cd commands in verbose mode.

6176 debhelper (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
6178 * Sped up some things by removing unnecesary for loops.
6179 * dh_installdocs: behavior modifcation: if there is a debian/TODO, it is
6180 named like a debian/changelog file: if the package is a debian native
6181 package, it is installed as TODO. If the package is not a native package,
6182 it is installed as TODO.Debian.
6183 * dh_installdocs: handle debian/README.Debian as well as
6184 debian/README.debian.
6185 * Added dh_undocumented program, which can set up undocumented.7 symlinks.
6186 * Moved dh_installdebfiles to come after dh_fixperms in the example rules
6187 files. (dh_installdebfiles makes sure it installs things with the proper
6188 permissions, and this reorganization makes the file a bit more flexable
6189 in a few situations.)

6220 debhelper (0.2) unstable; urgency=low
6222 * Moved out of unstable, it still has rough edges and incomplete bits, but
6223 is ready for general use.
6224 * Added man pages for all commands.
6225 * Multiple binary package support.
6226 * Support for specifying exactly what set of binary packages to act on,
6227 by group (arch or noarch), and by package name.
6228 * dh_clean: allow specification of additional files to remove as
6230 * dh_compress: fixed it to not compress doc/package/copyright
6231 * dh_installmanpage: allow listing of man pages that should not be
6232 auto-installed as parameters.
6233 * dh_installdebfiles: make sure all installed files have proper ownerships
6235 * dh_installdebfiles: only pass ELF files to dpkg-shlibdeps, and pass .so
6238 * dh_compress: changed behavior - debian/compress script is now run inside
6239 the package build directory it is to act on.
6240 * Added dh_lib symlink in debian/ so the debhelper apps used in this
6241 package's debian/rules always use the most up-to-date db_lib.
6242 * Changed dh_cleantmp commands in the examples rules files to dh_clean.
